Washing Butter.

On this important question CORES
pondent of an exchange says: If you
stop churning when the butter glob-
ules are tho size of pins head, and
after drawing off most of the butter
milk, put in the churn some weak
brine and giving the churn few rev
olutions draw off the brine and then
replace that with water, and keep on
repeating this process until the water
runs perfectly clear. and finally put in
the churn enough strong brine, as
strong you can make it, and let it stand
for an hour or two, then take out the
granular butter, put it on the butter
board or in the presser and press it
just enough to get out the superAuous
moisture you will have butter with all
the milk washed out and thoroughly
and evenly salted, and with less work
and better preservation of the grain of
the butter than if the butter was al
lowed to gather in Jumps in the churn.

Farmers Harvest Homes.

The farmers of Baltimore county

question is asked why not hold such
a meeting on our fair grounds. We
vote yes to that proposition. And

that the speeches be little varied

lawyers and such at those kinds of
gatherings; and in place of the regu-

Dairying G Enriches the Land.

Those dairy farmers who carefully
save and utilize the manure, increase
the fertility of their farms. The farm.
er who sells cream or butter, removes
principally those elements that are
plentiful in the air and soil The skim
milk contains nearly all the nitrogen,
PHOSPHORUS and potash of the milk. If
this is fed these elements are preserved
and can in great part be returned to
the soil in the manure. The only val
liable fertilizers removed from a dairy
farm are those in the carcasses of ami.
mails sold, the loss of which is not
equaled by that added through the an
nual decomposition of the soil itself.

MARCHING OF ARMIES.
The Importance OF Rapidity OF Movement
i'll Modern Warfare.

in Modcrn Warfare.
The grand operations of war will de-
pend, as they cvcr have done, Oh the
marching power of armies. Take, fol
example. the latest wars wherein
troops of civilized nations have been
engaged. In 1880 General Roberts
marched 10. 900 men and is guns frosl
Kabul to kandahar, a distance of $40
miles. The march WAS made in %
days over the rough roads and mounts
ain passes of A~fghanistan. He AZ
rived in time to relieve Kandahar and
defeat Ayoub Khan, and thus preserve
TO England a strong natural guard
against Russian intrigue and force Of
arms. Had he been a day Or two
later kandahar would have fallen,
General Roberts would have
been defeated and the first phase of
the coming struggle between the En-
mlish bull and Russian bear would have
been precipitatcd. In the Franco
Prussian warif Mcmahon had marched
as rapidly as did the Crown Prince Of
Prussia he would have reached Metz
in time to relieve it, and the disaster
of Sedan would have been avoided.
We all know how Grouchy lost Water
LOBBY not appearing at the time
Napoleon had calculated; and how
wellington won it-by the timely az
rival of Butcher. who had marched in
haste at the sound of battle. And en-
ample after example might be cited to
prove that upon the marching power
alone Of armies has depended the fate
Of battles and nations. 1t is actual
ly a fact that tactics alone,
independent of questions of
superior armament, quality of
troops. etc, has very seldom decided
the success Of a battle. On the other
hand, many campaigns have been won
with scarcely n gun being fired by the
strategic marching of armies under u
Skillful general. Often also has the
loss Of life on a march been fully AZ
great as that caused by a battle. Thus
i'll the winter campaign of lS77-7S the
Russians under Gurko lost 1000 men
from freezing in one storm, lasting
foUrdays, through which they marched.
During the same storm the
TWentv-fourth Russian division
at Shipka pass lost 5000
mon, so per cent. of its strength, from
the same cause. The terrible losses
Napoleon's army experienced in its
retreat from Moscow are familiar his
